Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on a proposed 

revised information collection. In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks 

comments concerning the information 

collection outlined in 44 CFR part 61, as 

it pertains to application for National 

Flood Insurance Program insurance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) is authorized by Public Law 90–

448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law 

93–234 (1973). The National Flood 

Insurance Act of 1968 requires that 

FEMA provides flood insurance at full 

actuarial rates reflecting the complete 

flood risk to structures built or 

substantially improved on or after the 

effective date for the initial Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the 

community, or after December 31, 1974, 

whichever is later, so that the risks 

associated with buildings in flood-prone 

areas are borne by those located in such 

areas and not by the taxpayers at large. 

In accordance with Public Law 93–234, 

the purchase of flood insurance is 

mandatory when Federal or federally 

related financial assistance is being 

provided for acquisition or construction 

of buildings located, or to be located, 

within FEMA-identified special flood 

hazard areas of communities that are 

participating in the NFIP. When flood 

damage occurs to insured property, 

information is collected to report, 

investigate, negotiate and settle the 

claim. 

Collection of Information 

Title: National Flood Insurance 

Program Claims Forms. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a currently approved 

collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–0005.
